Bill's eMailbox: In search of Mongolian vodka

I live in the New York metropolitan area, actually New Jersey. My son lives in Pittsburgh and we occasionally travel. I bought a small bottle in Mongolia and wish I could buy more.

A: You're not the first reader to ask that question. However, even through diligent research I've been unable to come up with a satisfactory answer.

Any time I've spotted Chinggis Khaan in a cocktail lounge, it has been because someone had purchased it in Mongolia or China during their travels. The best info I can provide is to suggest you go here and inquire about buying a bottle or two.

Incidentally, despite the good word-of-mouth reviews this Mongolian product has been getting, it sells for just the equivalent of $20 US.
